show the date of appointment of such member, his age, his rec-
ord in the service, and any other information that may be
pertinent to the matter of his retirement and relief. The said
Board shall in each case considered by it for retirement and
relief submit to the Commissioners of Montgomery County a

remand any case for such further proceedings as they may
deem necessary.

discretion and at any time, may cause any person receiving
any relief allowance tinder the provisions of this Act, who has

Health Officer and undergo a medical examination, as the re-
sult of which the said Commissioners shall determine whether
the relief in such case shall be continued, increased, decreased
or discontinued. Should any person receiving relief under the
provisions of this Act, after due notice, fail to appear and un-
dergo the examination prescribed here, the said Commission-
ers are authorized in their discretion to reduce or entirely dis-
continue such relief.

discretion, reduce or discontinue the relief granted to any
person under the provisions of this Act if such person shall
have been convicted in any court of any crime involving moral
turpitude; and the said Commissioners may also, in their dis-
cretion, reduce or discontinue the relief granted to any person
under the provisions of this Act when it shall appear to their
satisfaction from evidence before them that such person is an
habitual drunkard or guilty of lewd or lascivious conduct.

Sec. 21. Any retired member of the Police Department of
Montgomery County receiving relief under the provisions of this
Act may in" the time of flood, riot, conflagration, during extra-

the Commissioners of said County into the service of the De-
partment from which he was retired with relief, for such duty
as his disability will permit him to perform, without compen-
sation therefor; and the said Commissioners shall have power
to enforce compliance with the provisions hereof by withhold-
ing the payment of relief; but nothing contained in this section
shall be construed to enforce residence in Montgomery County
upon any retired member of said Department when it shall
appear to the satisfaction of said Commissioners that resi-
dence elsewhere is rendered necessary by the physical condi-
tion of such member.
